Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will assess the effects of the Erigo applied as part of the early mobilization program in the Trauma ICU at the University of Kentucky. It is our hypothesis, that with the Erigo, critically ill patients will tolerate verticalization and mobilization earlier and safely resulting in improved outcomes measured by increased mobility and strength on ICU discharge, decreased requirements for mechanical ventilation, reduced complication rates and decreased ICU and hospital LOS.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: Erigo Pro
  • Other: Standard Physical Therapy

Detailed Description

The "Erigo" by Hocoma is a combination of tilt table with a robotic stepper device allowing for cyclic leg loading. Erigo now also includes Functional Electrical Stimulation to optimize active neuromuscular stimulation. It allows for protected gradual verticalization and mobilization based on patient tolerance and progress. It has been shown to improve orthostatic tolerance, cerebral blood flow and muscle strength.

Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial will compare two groups. The patients that meet inclusion criteria will be randomized into either the treatment group or a control group. General ICU mobility guidelines consist of scaled activity related to the patients' stability. The control group will get the general ICU mobility treatments and the treatment group will have one mobility treatment replaced with the Erigo treatment.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Erigo Pro plus standard Physical Therapy

The Erigo device therapy is a combination of tilt table with robotic stepper device allowing for cyclic leg loading. It also includes Functional Electrical Stimulation to optimize active neuromuscular stimulation. It will be used once a day to replace one of the standard PT therapies. The exercise mimics walking beyond what regular range of motion provides. Patients will have 2 additional PT therapies 20 minutes of standard range of motion movements.

Device: Erigo Pro
Verticalization table with two integrated robotic devices for leg movement and cyclic loading
Other Names:
  • Verticalization table
  • Item #29673 Hocoma products
  • Active Comparator: Standard Physical Therapy

    Patients will have 3 standard Physcial Therapy session. Patients will have 2 additional PT therapies 20 minutes of standard range of motion movements.

    Other: Standard Physical Therapy
    Patients receive standard physical therapy.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Orthostatic Tolerance During Verticalization [Up to one year]

      Rapid decreases in blood pressure are a common clinical challenge when trauma patients go from lying down to standing. Changes in blood pressure will be compared between groups to determine if verticalization with an ERIGO Pro tilt table will alleviate the drop in blood pressure more quickly than standard of care. Participants will have their blood pressure measured upon initial verticalization after injury and at each treatment session there after until they achieve ambulation (the ability to move without assistance). Data will be presented as the number of days of treatment required to achieve blood pressure homeostasis during the positional change from lying to standing.

    2. Orthostatic Tolerance During Ambulation [Up to one year]

      Rapid decreases in blood pressure are a common clinical challenge when trauma patients go from standing to full ambulation. Changes in blood pressure will be compared between groups to determine if verticalization with an ERIGO Pro tilt table will alleviate the drop in blood pressure more quickly than standard of care. Participants will have their blood pressure measured upon initial unassisted standing and then during each treatment session there after until discharge. Data will be presented as the number of days of treatment required to achieve blood pressure homeostasis during the positional change from standing to full ambulation.

Total incidence will be compared between groups and presented as a total count of pneumonia diagnoses per group.

    4. Incidence of Urinary Tract Infections While Hospitalized [Up to one year]

      Incidence of urinary tract infection during hospitalization will be determined by clinical symptoms to include temperature of > 100.8 degrees F, WBC> 12000 WBC/MM3, patient complaints of pain, positive urine culture.

Total score: 0 - 32, usually divided by 25%, 50%, >75% (minimum, moderate, maximum functionality). The higher the score, the great physical function the participant has.

    10. Measure of Muscle Power [Up to one year]

      The Muscle Research Council Muscle Scale will be used to determine actual muscle power generation vs the anticipated power generation prior to discharge. Total score: 0 - 5, 5 is normal muscle function. Data are presented as units on a scale.

    11. Fall Risk [Up to one year]

      Participant fall risk will be determined prior to discharge using the Berg Balance Scale to assess impairment of balance function through the completion of several functional tasks. The data are presented as units on a scale. The higher the number the lower the fall risk.

    12. Assessment of Participant Mobility [Up to one year]

      The ICU Mobility Scale ranks a participant's mobility on a scale of 0-32, were a score of zero is a completely non-mobile individual and a score of 32 is a fully ambulatory individual. Data will be collected at the time of discharge. The data are presented as units on a scale.

The exercise mimics walking beyond what regular range of motion provides. Patients will have 2 additional PT therapies 20 minutes of standard range of motion movements. Erigo Pro: Verticalization table with two integrated robotic devices for leg movement and cyclic loading Patients will have 3 standard Physcial Therapy session. Patients will have 2 additional PT therapies 20 minutes of standard range of motion movements. Standard Physical Therapy: Patients receive standard physical therapy.
